Rainy Day Blues

SAD. This is Photo Hunt’s theme for today. I have written a long post about what makes me sad (and angry) here.

I will just post a simple photo and a few lines from Karen Carpenter’s song, Rainy Days and Mondays. Listen to her sing here.

I don’t know why but this photo makes me sad. It feels like…what does it feel like to you?

“No need to talk it out, we know what its all about. Hanging around, nothing to do but frown, rainy days and Mondays always let me down.”

What makes you sad?

    I remember that song well and it is a good one for sad.

    To me the photograph feels like it’s either keeping someone in or out. Almost like barbed wire. I guess it may be barbed wire in between the pointed spikes. Fences can be sad.

    Take care, Carver

    Karen Carpenter, so talented and such a loss, that makes me sad

    Old metal things make me sad, too. They look lonely and austere.

    I did Photo Hunters today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and post your link.

    julie, that photo reminds me of the crown of thorns on Jesus’ head, and it does convey great sadness.

    Yes it does stir up emotions of sadness – not sure why, maybe it’s a fence caging someone or something in – or maybe it’s a fence keeping someone or something out!! Happy weekend.
